CROUCH END FLYER was an easy winner at Towcester when last seen out in May and can back that up here after a six month break, with Nearly A Breeze among potential dangers. The selection acts well on today's ground and after winning so well on that stiff Towcester circuit he should be more than capable of making the step up to this trip, over which he can probably find futher improvement. Nearly A Breeze got the better of Decree Nisi with a hard fought win at Exeter last time so we know he is in good shape at present and he won't have an issue with this trip or ground so he is entitled to go close. Parlesotho handles the ground well, though he has not yet convinced that he stays this far. Conceding weight away all around will not be easy today and we will oppose. Pride Of Mine has more chance now the assessor has dropped him 4lb, so he can't be ruled out, and don't discount Serengeti Sunset as a potential improver. Crouch End Flyer is the one for us in the opener.
